Texas Roadhouse set for September opening in Santa Fe with staff of 200 workers
Officials from a Louisville, Ky.-based restaurant chain that is opening a location in Santa Fe say they are on target for a fall opening here and plan on hiring 200 workers.
A Texas Roadhouse location is under construction at 4399 Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe and is expected to open in September, according to spokesperson Stephanie Keck.
According to a news release, Texas Roadhouse is encouraging potential employees to apply through an online portal at becomearoadie.com. Keck said applications for all positions are being accepted.
'We will be filling positions and then training a little bit closer to the opening date,' she said.
Texas Roadhouse has more than 720 locations in 49 states and 10 countries. It operates two eateries in Albuquerque and others in Las Cruces and Hobbs, Keck said, but this will be its first restaurant in Santa Fe.
'Santa Fe is a very exciting, amazing, beautiful place,' she said. 'We're really excited to bring our amazing food and legendary service to the community.'
The eatery is known for its steaks, ribs, chicken and hamburgers, along with its unlimited fresh-baked bread and peanuts.
Construction on the 7,900-square-foot Santa Fe location began last year, according to the news release.
The restaurant will be open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Buying a dream retirement home is a fantasy for many people, but the big question is — can it become a reality?

Fortunately, retirees have options beyond traditional mortgages.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prevents lenders from discriminating based on age, so being 67 won't affect your chances of getting a loan. However, your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and stable income are key factors. Most lenders prefer a DTI below 36%, though some may allow up to 43%. Additionally, your credit score and down payment matter. Also be ready to provide sufficient proof of your income – whether that's from a combination of Social Security benefits, pension income, and investment income. While some lenders accept as little as 3% down, aiming for 20% is recommended. This could help to keep your housing costs affordable, open up access to a broader choice of lenders and reduce the risk of ending up with negative equity in case you need to sell if something happens — such as your health taking a turn.

Second War Breaks Out in Trump's Dysfunctional Administration
The Trump-appointed director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency has ignited an intragovernmental civil war with a series of tweets calling for the resignation of the Federal Reserve chair. Businessman Bill Pulte launched his campaign against Jerome Powell on Wednesday with a tirade calling on Powell to lower interest rates, shortly before it was announced that the Federal Reserve would not be changing interest rates this month. He wrote, 'Because President Trump has crushed inflation, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell needs to lower interest rates today, and if not Chairman Powell needs to resign, immediately. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can help so many more Americans if Chair Powell will just do his job and lower rates.' Over the course of the next day, Pulte posted an additional eight tweets calling on Powell to resign. In one, he used his position as chairman of government-backed mortgage financiers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to point the finger at Powell's failure to lower interest rates that is hurting the housing market. In another, he claimed that Powell had no clue what he could do for the housing market and was 'not listening to the people who help lead' it. As a result, needed to resign. In response to an article from The Hill about his crusade, Pulte explained his repeated calls for Powell to resign. 'He is hurting Americans and hurting the mortgage market, which I am responsible for regulating.' The latest conflict comes as Republicans find themselves embroiled in another civil war over the Trump administration's handling of the Israel-Iran conflict, with figures like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon urging Trump to avoid involving the U.S. in another war in the Middle East. Pulte was eventually joined by President Donald Trump, who posted on TruthSocial, 'Too Late—Powell is the WORST. A real dummy, who's costing America $Billions!' Trump followed with a longer missive, writing on Thursday morning, ''Too Late' Jerome Powell is costing our Country Hundreds of Billions of Dollars. He is truly one of the dumbest, and most destructive, people in Government, and the Fed Board is complicit. Europe has had 10 cuts, we have had none. We should be 2.5 Points lower, and save $BILLIONS on all of Biden's Short Term Debt. We have LOW inflation! TOO LATE's an American Disgrace!' Trump nominated Powell for the position of chairman in 2017, breaking from tradition by naming a new appointee rather than reappointing the previous chair, Janet Yellen. Powell was then nominated to a second term by President Joe Biden in 2022. Pulte, meanwhile, was nominated to the role of director for FHFA in January, and was confirmed in March. Soon after being sworn in, he ousted several board members and named himself chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He also appointed a SpaceX employee to the board of Fannie Mae and placed 35 workers on administrative leave without advance notice. Powell had responded negatively to Trump's proposed tariff scheme earlier this year, cautioning that it could lead to higher inflation and slower growth. This prompted Trump to post on TruthSocial, 'Powell's termination cannot come fast enough!' while also telling reporters in the Oval Office, 'If I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast, believe me.' Despite these threats, according to The New York Times, the president is aware that attempting to remove Powell from his position could further damage an already volatile market. While Federal Reserve chairs are nominated by the president, as Powell was by Trump in 2017, the question of whether they can then be removed by the president is a legally complex and politically fraught one; Trump firing Powell could be seen as compromising the political independence of the Federal Reserve. Of the Federal Reserve's decision, Powell said on Wednesday that he and his colleagues preferred to keep interest rates unchanged as they wait to see the economic impact of Trump's tariffs. At a press conference, Powell said, 'It takes some time for tariffs to work their way through the chain of distribution to the end consumer.' He continued, 'We're beginning to see some effects, and we do expect to see more of them over coming months.'

Jay Peak GM Calls Impact of Canadian Tariffs "Catastrophic"
Earlier this week, the United States Senate convened a forum amongst the Senate Financial Committee, and others, on the impacts of tariffs and the current administration's trade war on business, manufacturing, farming, and the tourism industry. Vermont Senator Peter Welch, who is a member of the Senate Finance Committee welcomed General Manager Steve Wright of Vermont's Jay Peak to the forum to speak on the economic impacts and cultural harm as a result of the administration's new policies. Wright's opening statement provided a stark look into how the ski area and its local economy, which sits just south of the Canadian border, has already seen dramatic impacts of the tariffs imposed by the administration. Wright cited that the ski area itself is a $70M business that's been around for 60 years, and was once even owned by a Canadian company. The towns that are closest to the ski area, Newport and Jay, are home to less than 5,000 and 550 full-time residents respectively. On any given busy day at the ski resort, the population of Jay, VT can increase to more than 10,000 people, 50% of whom are Canadian visitors traveling from towns like Toronto, Montreal, and several of the eastern townships. Due to both a close proximity and relationship with the neighboring country, Wright noted policies that had been put in place many years prior at the resort that allowed Canadians to use the Canadian dollar on products like lift tickets, entry to the water park, for golf rounds. Depending on the current status of the dollar and Canadian dollar, that's meant that a discount of around 20-35% at any given time. "Our french fries come with American gravy and Canadian cheese curds and the resort consumes equal parts Budweiser and Molson," said Wright, in a lighthearted emphasis of his to watch the full speech below.

Wright continued by saying that Jay Peak and the state of Vermont are forecasting a 'potentially catastrophic amount of trouble' as it pertained to Canadians citizens unwillingness to visit the state for the 'indeterminate future.' He also touched on the increased costs of bringing in necessary operating equipment for the resort as a result of the tariffs. Located within Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, Jay Peak is the state's chief supplier of state and local taxes as well as more than 1,500 employment opportunities for Vermont's workforce, not to mention the most snow in eastern North America over the past winter, stated Wright. Despite these metrics, the ski area has already seen a massive decrease in Canadian visitorship. The 2026 fiscal year season pass sales has already seen a reduction of 35% by Canadian passholders. Wright recalled personally calling more than 150 Canadian households over the past two weeks. "They cite the Presidential Administration's flagrant disrespect of Canadian independence and not only a challenge to Canadian sovereignty but their own identity and they feel the need to respond," said Wright, summarizing the common sentiments of these phone calls. One family told him they were not sure when they'd return to Jay Peak, if ever. Beyond just Jay Peak, the 50,000 yearly Canadian visitors inject $150M into Vermont's economy annually, a number that has already seen suffering as a result of the tariffs. Wright closes his statement by noting the optimism required to work in the ski industry, one that is based largely on remote locations, fickle weather, and a lack of affordable housing. "The very last thing we need added to our plates is the President's anti-Canadian being driven by this administration that is neither grounded in logic nor supported by facts. It is my hope that ultimately cooler and more logical heads will prevail, but we have not seen much in the way of cool, and logic appears to be roughly five months out the proverbial window," said Wright. Jay Peak is not the only voice in the ski and outdoor industry to speak out about the affects of these tariffs. Earlier this week, women's ski and mountain bike brand, Wild Rye, opened to public investors as a way to bridge the financial gap needed to move product production out of China, as a result of the tariffs. On May 5th, Black Diamond reported a 15-25% raise in prices as a result of the tariffs. Many more brands and ski areas have waited in hesitation to see how these tariffs will continue to impact an already precarious industry following the COVID pandemic and in the face of climate change. Vermont skiers and ski areas are no strangers to standing up to this administration. Wright's statement further exemplifies that just because an office in the ski industry might look a little different than one in the White House, it's doesn't mean they aren't prepared to suit up and fight Peak GM Calls Impact of Canadian Tariffs "Catastrophic" first appeared on Powder on Jun 12, 2025 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
